Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris

This study aims to discuss the level of knowledge, skills and attitude of trainee teachers from the Geography and Environment Education Program in Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris on the use and effectiveness of Web 2.0 applications in the teaching and learning process of the Geography subject in Malaysia schools. This research applied purposive sampling by using a questionnaire as a primary data collection and distributed to the respondent by Google Form. 100 trainee teachers undergoing teaching training sessions in various schools in Malaysia were selected as the study sample and the data collection was carried out from April to June 2020. By using SPSS, descriptive analyses such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to analyse and present the data. The findings of the study showed that the mean values for the level of knowledge (mean = 4.09), skills (mean = 3.69) and attitude (mean = 3.98) are high. We have proposed some recommendations to the Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) and Trainee Teachers of the Education Program to further reinforce the implementation of integrating Web 2.0 applications into the teaching and learning of geography. In implications, this study can guide trainee teachers and other stakeholders to consider the teaching strategies that are appropriate for the use of Web 2.0 applications in the classroom. The selection of a Web 2.0 application design that fits to the learning objectives can encourage the teaching and learning (T&L) process and subsequently helps in the improvement of students' academic achievement in the future.
